§ 1628. Certificate of cessation of business or change of business status

(a) When a person, copartnership, association, limited liability company or corporation subject to the provisions of this chapter shall cease to do business in this state, a certificate setting forth such fact and the date whereon it so ceased shall be filed with the secretary of state within ten days after the date such business ceases. Such certificate may be sworn to and filed by a surviving partner, member of such association, officer of such corporation, member or manager of such limited liability company, or person so doing business, his executor or administrator.

(b) Whenever any general partner of such partnership, or member of such association withdraws from the business, a remaining general partner or member shall within thirty days file a certificate with the secretary of state signed and sworn by a remaining general partner or member, setting forth the fact of such withdrawal, together with the date of that withdrawal. Filing of this certificate shall avoid any interruption in the period of registration remaining before the need for renewal, as if no partner or member of the association had withdrawn.
